Walk Out Network's video: The Living Death Show Ep 140: I Am Legend

With Ant out of town for the week, Ben and Jay hold it down with a streamlined, yet expansive, episode of TLDS. Is Rafael Fiziev a title contender? Is Rafael dos Anjos a legend, as the UFC announcer booth proclaimed at ? (And how do you define that term?) Is TUF toast as a conduit of talent to the UFC? The dynamic duo tackle those questions and more, before looking ahead to the Brian Ortega-Yair Rodriguez clash at this weekend. 0:00 Welcome 1:38 Jay's Stat of the Week: The Earliest of the Latest ---------- UFC VEGAS 58 ---------- 2:23 Rafael Fiziev knocked out Rafael dos Anjos in his first five-round fight. Is he nearing a title shot? Ben unpacks the lightweight title picture as it stands right now. 9:27 Is Rafael dos Anjos a "legend," as the UFC announcers claimed? Opinions can differ, but it all starts with how you define that term. Is pure accomplishment enough, or it it more about how (and how much) we remember those accomplishments? Discussion of Matt Serra and the difference between gas and electric stoves ensues. 22:00 Outside of the main event, what was the most impressive individual performance at UFC on ESPN 39? Discussion of "D1 Nzechukwu" and the miserable showing of some TUF alums ensues. ---------- QUICK HITS ---------- No Ant = no clock, baby! We're finally free! 27:58 [Ben] Is The Ultimate Fighter done, in terms of getting relevant talent to the UFC? Ben argues it has been for a long time by asking one simple question. 32:11 [Jay] Was it impressive that Caio Borralho took Armen Petrosyan down and controlled him for 10 full minutes, or concerning that he couldn't finish him in that time? 33:30 [Ben] How many more fights will Chase Sherman get in the UFC now that he TKOed Jared Vanderaa? 35:44 [Jay] Can Said Nurmagomedov break the "Dagestani = wrestler" stereotype? ---------- GET RUTHLESS ---------- 37:29 The Contender Series is back this month, and if the last couple seasons are any indication, it will send at least two dozen prospects to the UFC. Meanwhile, UFC Vegas 58 was jammed with fighters who aren't flourishing. Jay asks nice-guy Ben whom he would cut to make room, with the instruction to "be ruthless." ---------- I'M NOT SURPRISED, MISTER FALCONS ---------- 43:35 [Ben] Arm-triangle choke strikezzzzzzz again 46:12 [Jay] Yair vs. Ortega for a title shot? ---------- UFC LONG ISLAND ---------- 48:51 Whether it's a justifiable title eliminator or not, Ortega vs. Rodriguez caps a pretty loaded fight night card this weekend. Who you got in the main event, and which other fights jump out to you as especially intriguing or exciting? (Yes, Ben keeps forgetting to take down that "FIVE MINUTES LATER" overlay at 49:11 or so. He'll get it next time, folks.)
